180g Vinyl LP & 7CD With Book Box Set!
First Release Of All 10 Rediscovered Session Tapes!
The Genesis Of One Of The Truly Great Moments In Gramophone History!

The recording industry of the 20th century saw stars become legends and albums
become icons of popular culture. Completed in a total of only four days and
released in January 1956, Glenn Gould’s début recording of Bach’s Goldberg
Variations is without doubt one of the most significant and successful classical
recordings in the history of the gramophone record.

Documenting with unprecedented completeness the events that unfolded in
Columbia’s 30th Street Studio during those four key days in June 1955, Glenn
Gould: The Goldberg Variations – The Complete Unreleased Recording Sessions
allows listeners for the very first time to join Glenn Gould, his producer
Howard Scott and sound engineer Fred Plaut as one of the greatest recordings of
all time came into existence.

Glenn Gould: The Goldberg Variations – The Complete Unreleased Recording
Sessions is probably the most comprehensive special edition ever dedicated to a
single classical music album.

It features Glenn Gould’s complete recording sessions of Bach’s Goldberg
Variations on 5 CDs (including the studio conversations between him and his
producer), restored from the original ¼-inch analogue tapes and re-mastered
using 24 bit / 96 kHz technology, plus the final album on both CD and
heavyweight 180g vinyl, as well as an extra CD Glenn Gould Discusses His
Performances of the “Goldberg Variations” with Tim Page.

The edition comes with a 36” x 24" poster and a 280-page hard-cover coffee-table
book, featuring 45 sensational, newly discovered photos from the recording
sessions, the complete musical score, several essays and an extensive
documentation – including facsimiles of more than 20 archival documents
detailing how an analogue vinyl LP was recorded in the mid-1950s.
